a fall Of 40' in three days. Galcna, ILL.,,

DIR. Billiard gives the details of seventy

vestigated by him. His conclusions are
that tho action of tea is cumulative, its
action is more pronounced on the young
and ON those subject to anemia or physi-
cally depressed, although persons other
wise healthy occasionally show toxic
symptoms; the average amount of the
beverage required to produce poisonous
effects in persons accustomed to its gen.
eral use is n little less than five cups per
day. Chronic tea poisoning, DIR. Billiard
asserts, is q common affection, its symp-
toms being, usually, loss of appetite, dys-
pepsia, p~alpitation, headache, vomiting
and nausea, and combined

HOPKINS DEALS.
Another Chapter in the Fidelity
Bank SWindle.
The Trial of the Assistant
Cashier Commenced.
Senator Cullom's Postal Tele-
graph Bill.
Hopkins In for 1t.

CINCINNATI, Dec. 13.-The trial of
Benjamin e. Hopkins, late assistant
cashier of the Fidelity National bank,
began this morning in the United States
court, Judge Sage presiding alone. The
court struck out six of forty or fifty counts
in the Indictment. As it remains, it was
stated in substance that it would charge
the misapplication of the funds Of the
Fidelity National bank and making false
entries in the books of the bank. The
defendant pleaded not guilty, and the
court proceeded to secure a jury.
Bruce, for the government, stated that
they expected to show that Hopkins had
at one time ~misappled $S00,00 of the
Fidelity banks funds and $4,000 at
another time; that he had drawn personal
checks upon the banks when he had no
funds to draw upon, and that he had
made false entries on the books of the
bank, representing 81 900, 600 used in the
Wiltshire wheat deal.
Bateman, for the defense, said they
would prove that the 'defendant was not
aware OF what was being done in the bank
and that he signed improper drafts when
handed HIM with others by Harper, not
knowing their nature.
Frank A. Armstrong, of Cincinnati.
and John =. Snodgrass, of Chicago,
brokers, testified to large deals in wheat
made by them for Hopkins. Hopkins
told them the deals were made on account
of another, who was strong" finan.
cially. He did not divulge his principals

Since mahogany and the more expensive
woods have grown scarce, the redwood
of California has been extensively used,
not only in building, but also in the man
ufacturc of furniture. 1t is destined to
take the place of walnut, cherry and
mahogany, on account of its great supply
and chcapncss. When highly polished
it is just as handsome as any of the more
expensive woods. When rosewood went
out of use on account of the extinction of
the supply, house decorators for n long
time were at n loss rs to what they could
use for a substitute, and at last they have
discovered it in the California redwood.
1t is suited for any kind of decoration,
and there is an illimitable supply through
out the Golden State, where extensive
forests abound. The redwood trees grow
to al immense size, and the timber made
therefrom is very large.-Dcmorest's

Traffic IN Chinese Women.

SAN FRANCIsCo, Dec. l3.-Wong All
Hung, who is said to be a wealthy
Chinese merchant, was convicted in the
United States district court to-day ON the
charge of importing two Chinese women
for immoral purposes. A number of
similar cases have been brought to the at
tcntion of the federal court recently and
customs officials are making further in
vestigations. Twenty-seven Chinese
IN who arrived here a week ago are
now detained on the steamer, Cir:um-
stances had led the officials to believe they
were purchased in Hong Kong by Chinese
in this city and brought here for immoral
purposes, and federal officers are giving
the matter their attention. From records
seized among the baggage of the women
and from testimony given in court, 1t was
discovered that there was a regular traffic
in young women and that there were pur-
chased in China for from 5000 to 5000
each.

LONDON, Dec. l3.-An address, to be
signed by many English Catholics, will be
presented to Mgr. Persico, who was
charged by the pope to make a personal
investigation of affairs in Ireland, assur-
ing him of their devotion to the holy see
and expressing the hope that his mission
will result in inducing the pope to assist
in obtaining for Ireland the iulfllment Of
national aspirations. The address will
repudiate the actions OF those English
Catholics who have adopted a course OF
bitter and uncompromising hostility
towards Ireland. The address has al
ready been signed by the marquis OF
Rip0n, Lord Ashburnham, Lord Oxford
and other prominent gentlemen, and it is
now being circulated for signatures among
the Catholics of England.

Man, like other animals, was made to
live the greater part of the time out of
doors. Out of door exercise is essential
to vigor'o of body, and vigor of body is es-
sential to youthfulness of appearance. 1t
is the indoor confinement of women
the constant breathing of o~verheated and
vitiated air and the necessary neglect of
natural forms of eXercise-tha makes
their beauty fade prematurely. 1t is as
natural for girls to romp and play in the
open air rs it is for colts to do so, and

would be vitality impaired by the hot
house bringing up which the girls have
to undergo before they attain to years of

Tirard ministry was brought about by the
threats of President Carnot to resign if
NJ. Tirard refused to go ahead with the
task. 1t is now called the "Carnot cabi.

other Radical organs make violent attacks
on the new government, which it is OK
pected will collapse after the holidays.
President Carnot's message was sub
mitted to the chambers to day. He adj
vocates a policy of concord and appease-
ment, and urges the adoption OF practical
reforms for the improvement Of finance.
The chambers, he says, in assisting the
government to execute this programme,
will give Europe a precious pledge OF
Frances ardent desire to the consolida-
ton Of a general peace, and to facilitate
the development of good foreign relations,

Tho Spanish Shooting Smith.

1t is tho general practice in Spain to
shoe horses without tho application of
heat, and very few shooting smiths have
bellows or FORCES in their shops. They
also mako their shoes without the aid of
fires, a fact largely due to the pure, soft,
ductilo iron, primarily manufactured
with wood and charcoal. The Spanish
"horrador," or shooting smith, for he
does no other work, general jobbing or
repairing, has no use for the drawing
knife, and he never touches or pares
anything but the wall, and that with the

Discussing the Labor Question.

BALTIMORE, Dec. l3.-The second an
nual convention of the National Fedora.
ton Of Labor met in this city. The dele.
gates were received by Mayor Latrobe,
who addressed them and rendered the
hospitality Of the city.
President Gompers, in his animal re.
port, spoke of the necessity of Legislation
for the regulation of the employment Of
women and children and the heavy dis
placement of labor by machinery in the
last few years, and of its influence on in,
dustrial depression, the necessity for rcgu.
lating hours of labor and the urgent need
of organized unions to improve the condi-
ton of the laboring classes. He touched
on the jealousy existing between the Fed
Grafton and the Knights of Labor, and
said there was no necessity for it. He
disclaimed all sympathy or love for anarchy,
its methods or its teachings.
